Bunnik Tours is an Australian small group tour operator operating package tours.
The company's head office is in Adelaide, and it also has offices in Sri Lanka and Slovenia.[1]
History
[edit]Marion Bunnik Travel (later renamed to Bunnik Tours) was established as a travel agency based in Pirie Street, Adelaide, in 1995 by Marion Bunnik and her sons Dennis and Sacha Bunnik. As well as small group travel the company arranged trips for sports teams with Ansett Australia[2], and for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.[3]
In 2009, Bunnik Tours placed in the Business Review Weekly's Fast 100,[4] which ranks Australia’s fastest growing companies.
Bunnik Tours relocated to its flagship office at 45 Flinders Street, Adelaide in late 2010.
In 2011, when the Egyptian Revolution stranded Australian travellers, then-managing director Dennis Bunnik travelled to Cairo and helped evacuate the tour groups who were in the country.[5][6] At the time Egypt accounted for around 40% of Bunnik Tours’ business.[7] When Bunnik Tours won BRW's Private Business Award for Excellence in Customer Service in 2012, Travel Daily cited “coordinating the evacuation of tour groups from Cairo during the 2011 Egypt revolution” as a key factor in the win.
In 2024, The Advertiser noted that the company had posted a 700%-plus average revenue growth over the previous three financial years.[8]
Charity work
[edit]Bunnik Tours also has ties to a number of charities, including The Greenmanjaro Foundation, Breakthrough T1D (Walk to Cure Diabetes program), Carry for Kids, Fred Hollows Foundation, Tanzeed, and several community projects in Sri Lanka.[9]
Following the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Sri Lanka, Bunnik Tours raised over $30,000 in relief.[10]
